THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING POLSEN.

This two channel wireless microphone system is designed for hands-free mobility in a wide variety of applications including video

production, electronic news gathering (ENG), electronic eld production (EFP), and classroom and presentation applications. The

portable receiver can be mounted on a standard shoe mount or attached with a belt clip� It is a reliable, easy-to-use solution for wireless sound transmission�

The CAM-2W includes an omnidirectional microphone (PL-2W) ideal for video applications� Omnidirectional microphones are less

susceptible to wind and clothing noise than cardioid microphones. The PL-2W affords exible placement options and allows for

head movement without affecting the sound� It can be readily placed on a costume, collar, or necktie� A tie clip is included�

The CAM-2WC includes a cardiod microphone (PL-2WC), which is ideal for presentation applications since it reduces room noise, allowing for greater distance from the source—making the system less susceptible to feedback�

The CAM-2W/2WC system was designed with two switchable frequencies to avoid interference while operating at a range of up to 100 feet (300 feet in optimal conditions)�

Included is a durable exible antenna that can be positioned for the best possible reception. Audio can be monitored in real time

with the included earphone�

Compander-Free System

The CAM-2 system is a compander-free system for delivering high-quality audio� The word compander is a combination of the terms

com

pressor and ex

in the receiver� Companding can cause undesirable artifacts such as the pumping and breathing associated with

compression. Compander-free systems don’t exhibit these artifacts, making them a favored solution among lmmakers around the world.
